PHANTASMAGORIA VIDEO RIDE-THROUGH

Secret Fun Blog reader Wendi informed me that she's uploaded the following video footage of the Phantasmagoria on YouTube! Naturally there's a lot of darkness, but if you're at all familiar with the ride this clip is sure to bring back memories. Just hearing the audio was extremely enjoyable to me. It's all there: the hum of the car, the slam of the bang doors, and of course the blast of the bus horn. It also depicts some of the latter day improvements that Kyle J. Wood was behind...



I love the motive behind this little film. From her description...
"This video was taken inside the Phantasmagoria ride at Bell's Amusement Park in Tulsa, Oklahoma in 2006. Our three-year-old son was fascinated with this ride and got the courage to ride it once. After that he wanted us to retell each part of the ride over and over to him. We eventually videotaped ourselves riding it so that we could show him the video when we got tired of recounting the ride to him..."

I can totally relate to that. When I was a kid I was too afraid to watch certain scary movies so I'd make my friends describe every detail to me over and over again. Anyway, Thanks Wendi for sharing your video!
